I hold degrees in biology and biochemistry from the University of Oregon, and am currently on leave from the University of California at Davis’ genetics Ph.D. program. My current list of publications is available on my Google Scholar profile. Regarding my intellectual influences, my Goodreads account is a good starting place.

I am enthusiast for personal genomics, as well as an evolution and history buff. I am inordinately proud of my preschoolers when they bring up double helixes and black holes.
